DLV multiple campaigns

[gaius valerius]

So, any plans on those? (an early, middle or late or any of these) . The mod is imo the best around, but it takes ages to get to a point where you get interesting units. And the worst part is you have to repeat that proces time and time again.

I have to advertize here for TOTAL Fight since it allows one to start out with some decent units and this is what you seems to look for... although the recruitment rate may be lower at start; but at least you can recruit late units.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depends on your tastes ), there are also some features that are changed compared to DLV6.2 so check it or maybe you can just make your mini-mod with other starting dates and more developped starting settlements.

Maybe some other DLVer has plans to release other campaign with other starting dates.

I would also very much like to see a late campaign, as I never seem to get there - there's always something to test or a new version out that requires a restart of campaign

However, to do it properly one would have to change the campaign map to reflect the later stage, so cities development status, region owners, roads etc etc would have to be changed, possibly a lot of work.

But maybe it would be something to consider for a few of us to get together

Shadrach you are right, there is room to a late era campaign but lots of work to do (and need to be historically the most accurate possible which is very difficult too). Are you willing to team to make a late era campaign, and if so, which starting date ? 1400 ? In this period all units should be available and most major countries equiped with citadels and huge cities.

But this said, it will render the mil/civ points quite obsolete, no ?

City development, and regions control is the easy part of it and can easily be done in some good work days. It's pretty much straight forward. The events, family three, historical research, 2d graphical changes, scripts (major issue), implementing and changing fort locations are some of the more time consuming stuff tho, but still straight forward as far as I can see expertise and competance.

I very much doubt things like roads will change in 200 years time. Most roads were major in continental sense, and did not change since since the times of the romans. These roads were well buildt around in a geological sence..
